What immediately stood out was the formulation: 10% Matrixyl 3000® paired with Centella Asiatica is a thoughtful combination firming meets soothing, which is exactly what my skin type craves. The texture is elegant, silky, cushiony, and absorbs without any residue. No stickiness, no pilling, and it plays beautifully with the rest of my routine.
After a few weeks of use, I noticed a visible softening of skin texture, particularly around the cheeks and jawline. There’s a subtle plumping effect that gives the skin a healthier bounce, and it noticeably calms down redness, perfect for those post cleansing flare ups.
I’d strongly advise against using it on compromised skin or after actives like exfoliants or retinoids. And while it hydrates decently, this isn’t a standalone for those with dry-prone areas, you’ll still need a solid moisturizer to seal it in. It’s more of a treatment step than a moisture step.
